2017 SR50 R new member to the scooter world

Good evening all, new to the forum recently purchased an Aprilia SR50 R in white for my commute to work and back monday to friday.

Being no stranger to bikes and a fair bit older than the average 16-19 age bracket for these scooters its had the variator ring removed from dealership for me but i feel it still lacks a little GO.

Question is i cannot for the life of me get it to cruise above 40mph consistently, i know the exhaust has a lot to do with top end and is probably restricting me a bit but still i thought it might sit at 40mph without any hassle.

Also im after some carbon fibre parts to smarten it up a litte and make it a bit more personalised any ideas?

is the silver restrictor plate in the carb inlet? you can remove it. you might need a larger main jet if all of that is derestricted allready.

your scooter has a huge carb and airbox. all you need to make the most of it is a 70cc sport bbk cylinder and maybe a better touring exhaust like the leovince touring or something.
the point is to make more power everywhere so the entire cvt drive does not have to be replaced. keep the peak power and vario tuned no higher than 8000rpm and it will pull hard. hence a torque pipe like the lv touring or a yasuni Z pipe perhaps.

The flat plate in the Inlet with lots of holes drilled in it was removed but the bike ran like a bag of crap so put it back in.
Obviously now ive had a read of some topics on here i should upjet the carb then remove the plate as like any engine more air equals more fuel needed.

Yazuni z pipe is on the cards but i have to take the grinder to the frame as it has a bar welded to the chassis to stop you fitting a sports pipe.

Long term if i can keep it reliable enough to get back and forth to work im happy but i would just like a little bit more from it.

super. well i liked my derbi stock exhaust sound alot. i wish someone told me all the bike needs is a 70cc cylinder and a rejet to make it awesome. the exhaust is users choice. the bike is allready tuned for a 70cc kit. take advantage.

wanting more power and a bit more speed for the daily ride to work.
Stock rollers on the scales are all 6.46 grams and i have a 52 size jet in the carb, only restrictor taken out is the vario one and the pipes on the stock exhaust have been shortened and welded.
Ordered a yasuni R exhaust and a new polini clutch as the OE one i think is slipping and the contra spring just isnt upto it as uphill it drops lots of rpm.

Any recomendations on a solid reliable setup that will see me hit above 50mph all the time? at the moment its topping out at 48.4mph using strava to track my commutes to work and back.

Stripped it right down today for some diagnosis and yep my reed petals on 1 part are not sitting closed so guess they are knackered.

Cheers for the input will have a look into 70cc kits for later down the line with the view to swap it back to a 50cc in little over 3 years when my son turns 16 so its kind of an investment for him to jump onto.

a vforce reed valve and an airsal 70cc sport would be a smart setup for both of you. it uses the stock dome head for a smoother engine than the malossi.

racingplanet.com does free shipping and together it will be close to a malossi bbk and its reeds that are just ok. i think the airsal is a hundred and the vforce maybe a 100? so its about the same as the malossi but smoother and a much better reed valve than the stock cage.
